I'd like to try converting some mac fonts to GDOS format, but all the
ftp font archives have the mac fonts compressed using something that
creates .sit and .hqx extensions.
Does anybody know of any way I can uncompress these files on either my
ST or a unix system (before down loading) ?
Thanks in advance,

'Mcvert' is a Eunuchs-hosted .hqx converter (to .sit) and 'Unsit' unarchives .sit files.

There is a program called mcvert for unix that will convert .hqx files to mac binarys. Once you are there you need some utility that will convert the Mac fonts to GDOS format. The .sit files are created by StuffIt!, the Mac equivalent to arc files. The details for StuffIt! files are available, but I do not know of any implementations on the ATARI. You might have to "unStuff" them on a PC or a Mac. Fabian
